Not sure what you are disagreeing about... I think we generally agree on basically the whole thing.

Here is where I disagree...

The big difference is Belichick had admitted to doing it. He was quoted as saying yes they did it and and he felt it was all fair and part of the game. When asked to turnover all the materials they willingly did so. NO COVER UP, NO DENYING, and they STOPPED doing it.

NFL got wind of the Bounty and told the Saints to stop it. NFL asked again and again about it and Saints denied and then NFL told them to stop it and well they didn't. So I can see that is where the harsh penalty comes from but I still think it much.

So I think the lesson is actually the opposite. If something is wrong and you are asked you better answer honestly and come out with it immediately instead of trying to cover it up.

As I've been saying, it's LAWYER TIME for SP, Loomis & Vitt.

Is it wrong to hope Goodell has a stroke before the season & has to step down or worse? Not that I'm hoping that, just saying.

Yes, it is. As much as I do not like the man I do not wish him harm...I just hope that when he buys lots of apples, the box/bag splits and the apples are rolling all over the floor. Yeah, don't ever mess with me and my curses because that's what you'll get!

Not only that but you also have an obligation as a coach, a leader, a role model. To ALWAYS do the right thing.

If it was going on... I don't care who you are you need to stop it or say "I think that is wrong and a violation of a law somewhere". Even seek higher ups to point out something isn't right with this procedure. Its a morale issue as well.

I can see from this thread who also believes in UFO's.

Elvis still alive?

Why didn't SP or GW come out and say "WTF are you talking about" to NFL?
They didn't and why is that... GUILTY.

Who cares? GW admitted it and we get punished.

I figured someone would care. Just because you don't, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be shared with those who may take a listen at it.

The guy probably did go to the NFL. So what? Initial evidence was so unclear that Goodell gave the Saints the benefit of the doubt and ASKED them to stop.

"Sure" we said... (wink, wink) Then continued it, and did it openly (audio).

Try any angle you want - THE COAHES WERE WRONG

Seems like a coach was wrong

Don't be naive. Any coach who continued allow this to continue AFTER being warned was wrong.
